You might say it's the ice, but even when you put bottled or canned soda in a cup with ice it's not the same.

Need that hasn't been properly cleaned in a decade taste.

Don't take them to be fact across the board. When I worked in food service (chipotle), the nozzles got cleaned every night.

The seltzer water and soda syrup are mixed when it's pouring into your cup. If the machine is properly maintained, and the syrup hasn't "expired", it should be the freshest soda can get.

Its not, canned is best, followed by bottled. Fountain is the bottom drink of last resort.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For me it goes:

Glass bottle > Can > plastic bottle > post-mix (fountain)

[–] Aliendelarge@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I do like a glass bottle soda. Can't believe I forgot about those.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

They are (sadly) so hard to find these days they are easy to forget.

[–] Dogeek@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I'll die on that hill, but can is better than glass bottle. There's more fizz going on. Soda tastes also fresher

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed, this is my preference in terms of taste for sure. Value for money though... well that's a different calculation.

Value for money though… well that’s a different calculation.

To quote an old whiskey add: "Do you want the scotch you want to pay for or the scotch you want to drink?..."

That lovely plastic lining taste of canned, with the taste of aluminum as well. Honestly glass bottle hits different, but i don't drink soda anymore

[–] sumofchemicals@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Plastic bottled is garbage. I like an aluminum can ok. Glass bottled is pretty good. But you're mistaken about fountain.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Disagree, glass bottled is best, followed by canned, then plastic bottled.

Fountain soda ratios are always way off.

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I find bottled/canned soda has way too much carbonation. fountain drinks are usually better for that alone.

This is specific to McDonalds, but the principles apply: https://youtu.be/4VETXsKd0Z8
